Hi,

You can use Dental Floss or some monofilament fishing line to get the adhesive foam to give way.

To remove any residue, I would recommend PrepSol. PrepSol is used by Body Shops to degrease and prepare a panel for painting. It is inexpensive and has a 1000 uses from the task at hand, to removing Wax, Tar, and Bugs. It works well for removing road film from the windshield and side glass, and most importantly, it will not harm the paint. You can find it at any Auto Body Supply Store. I always have a bottle on hand, have been using it for years. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
